But the more you cut off, the less representative it is. Why should what has happened in the last 10 years be taken to be the norm?

People who lived in the 50/60's had more in common with the Vikings than the generation today. The norm is what we experience in our own lifetimes.

Yes, but some (living) people's lifetimes take in the Fifties and Sixties (and before)… :huh:

But then you're reduced to arguing that nirvana was a short period around 2002 to 2006, and that the rest of history was the aberration in which everything went completely wrong.

I'm afraid you're not going to convince many people with that one.

You are looking back too far
the 80s were grim, the 70s were very grim, no big surprise that things are better than they were in 1980

Were you living up north back then?

It's grim up north.
